Answer

Using too "thick" an oil. Many people disregard factory specifications thinking that "thin" oils will damage their engine. It's amazing how many people use 20W-50 oil year-round because "it's what they've always used". My Toyota Soarer can use 5W-20 oil but this is not commonly available (and is horrendously expensive) so I use 5W-30, which is recommended for all engine types in the Toyota. Despite this, some owners insist on using 15W-60 or similar.

How much money can you save by inflating your tires properly?

Fuel economy is decreased by underinflated tires as well as the tire life is decreased. So you could probably see a savings of 5-10% in some cases @ 35 psi on fuel economy and save yourself the price of a set of 4 tires. Fuel economy is also affected by your driving style. Speeding, fast starts/fast stops and general nasty driving habits will kill your fuel economy really fast. Slower & steady with easier take offs from the stops will increase fuel economy.
